Madduxes are Safefly in Nampula Thanksgiving   * It meant so much to us for each of you blessing us to return here to Mozambique.  It was just what we needed.  Thank you so much! * Our flights went well!  Nothing in checked luggage was stolen. * One trunk didn't make it through initially because of an air-soft gun in it.  Yikes, it had all our toiletries thrown in too. But after security removed it, they sent the trunk on up. Yeah! * Our missionary colleagues, Dan and Robin Been, helped us with meals and a few groceries to start out with.  They even shared some of their cache of peperoni on pizza! * Our Mozambican friends were very happy to see us here and we them!  They're planning a reception party for us with some Mozambican foods.  How generous! * We're thankful for our good U.S. washer that is washing the mold out of many things stored over the last year.  * We'll have to get new pillows, etc. but have a PEP store here. * Elijah and Esther are glad to be here!  Elijah enjoyed soccer today! * 10 single missionaries we knew a year ago from this Nampula area in different missions are now mostly all engaged to be married soon. God is amazing! * We now have internet! (though very slow an unstable by U.S. standards) You can contact us by e-mailing, or by skyping us at user id: heartransform, or calling the U.S. Kansas phone number 913-871-6490 which will ring on our computer wherever and whenever we're connected to the internet. Prayer   * That our visa application will be accepted.  Immigration said they no longer allow a person to be gone a year, so as we were waiting for my Mom's health to clear to travel, we are using that as the explanation for our "late" arrival.  Please pray all the paperwork will be accepted to process through up here and that in the weeks ahead in the capital in the south it will also be accepted. * Pray we can find a good car battery and tires. Most go to South Africa for quality items, but things a getting better here in Nampula, though prices are high. * Pray God gives us wisdom for our finances.  The cost of food and travel has greatly risen in the last year.  We've enjoyed mostly a lot of good rice and beans these last few days. Reminds me of growing up in Brazil. * Melissa is doing a little better today, but is still feeling achy and run down.  She's doing a great job organizing the house.   Love you all, Daniel and Melissa with Elijah and Esther
